Just after I was raped, I was moving back to NY from New Mex. I was in shock, my father and brother drove down within 24 hours afterwards and we loaded all of my things up in his truck and a uhaul trailer, My best friend decided she would drive up with me and we would follow them. I am not sure when it started but the Pretender's song, "I'll Stand By You". There is a line in it, "if your mad, get mad, I get angry to, ect..." I repepated this to myself the entire way. I actually couldn't recall what song it was from and knew it was a song but just those few lines helped me to trust her. I depended on her the enitire way. When we arrived at my parents house I told her may be for the second time the lyrics and asked if she knew the song, well she did and she had the CD and ever since then when I hear the song I remember laying in the car struggling to focus on anything and those words got me there.

Absolutely everything by Beth Hart. She isn't so well known but she is a powerful woman and she has a little twist in her songs that gives you the ability to express anger, sadness, love, pride, fear, hurt and then leave you strong!

I've been listening to a lot of violent music lately. Mostly Tool (Jerk-off and Opiate) and some Korn. It helps me come to terms with my anger, which is great because I never felt like I was aloud to be angry about anything.

Plus I've gotten hooked on Tori's "Waitress" song, just because it feels amazingly good to be able to scream "I believe in peace bitch" over and over again.

This song has been very good for when I need a lift me up. Awesome song. It was originally sung by Rod Stewart but the newest version is by Russell Watson as the theme song for Star Trek: Enterprise. Title of it is Where My Heart Will Take Me.

It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.

It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.

And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.

And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.

I´m going where my heart will take me.

I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.

I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.

I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.

Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.

And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.

And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.

I´m going where my heart will take me.

I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.

I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.

I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.

But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.

I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.

But I´ll be fine.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.

I´m going where my heart will take me.

I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.

I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.

I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.

I´ve got faith of the heart.

I´m going where my heart will take me.

I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.

I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

That was so ironic, hun. I was just coming here (with some hesitation) to post the link for the video for this song. Martina is my all-time favorite ~ she sings these extraordinarily strong songs that speak to real issues. And speaking of angels, her voice is nothing short of angelic. I just saw her for the like the seventh time about three weeks ago with Kaitlyn. Anyway, if anyone would like to see the video (please make sure you have Kleenex handy) the link is http://www.cmt.com It is in the listen/view section, I believe. So very sad - but hopefully it will bring more awareness to this extremely important issue.

I don't have a link for you to download this really. But if you go to http://www.leeannwomack.com/ and then click the link to music, then the second album with the same title as the song you should get a screen where you can listen to the different songs. I don't know if you'll get the whole song, but you'll get to hear some of it. This song means so much to me. Especially now. I've felt so worthless for so long and because of all of you here....I just feel like I AM touching someone's life. Thanks.

Next one is very very triggering if you've ever lost a child or a sibling or well...really anyone. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! It's just that I mourn for the child that I once was so songs like this...well they mean a lot to me.

When it is all too much I put on the following "Hunters and Collectors" song v. loud and belt it out. I especially like the part about holding your head high and not losing the desire for life and love...

This may already be on the post, but I don't have time to swim through ten pages before I share it. It's Never Again by Nickelback -- an extremely enraged and powerful shout against spouse abuse. Be careful because it could trigger for partner violence and for violence in general.

This song triggered me really bad the other day as I had downloaded it for a friend and never really listened to the lyrics before, guess I was more in touch with the actual music. Anyway, after the trigger I did force myself to listen to it again, and yup, you're right. It does rock! Thanks for sharing.

This song "When I Am Weak" is an original song written by a few of the pastors from my church (Calvary Chapel Bangor) Its been a great source of strength and inspiration.

When I Am Weak

"Time keeps passing by, there ain't nothing I can do. I'd really like to change somethings I've been going through. I'd been feeling battled by the world I'm living in. I've been feeling down and I feel like giving in. Lord, I'm trying hard to keep my trust in You, cuz You've never let me down. You've always pulled me through. So Lord be patient with me one more time cuz I know the sun is shining on the other side.

Lord sometimes it feels like You've hidden your face from me and I feel like I can't go on. But you said that You'd never leave nor forsake me and its when I am weak that I am strong.

Lord I'm so prone to run on ahead and I forget everything that You've ever said. That You care for the sparrow when it falls from the sky. There ain't nothing in this world that ever escapes Your eyes. And when my heart is aching and it seems that its the end, Your love is still the same and You are still my friend. And though I cannot see you, still I will believe and though I cannot touch You, I know You're there for me.

Lord sometimes it feels like You've hidden your face from me and I feel like I can't go on. But You said that You'd never leave nor forsake me and its when I am weak that I am strong.

And when my heart is aching and it seems that its the end, your love is still the same and You are still my friend. And though I cannot see You, still I will believe and though I cannot touch You I know You're there for me.

Lord sometimes it feels like You've hidden your face from me and I feel like I can't go on. But You said that You'd never leave nor forsake me and its when I am weak that I am strong."

The other night I got nervous because I thought there was this car following me. All I could think was that he had found me again. So I'm getting ready to have a full blown panic attack and this song came on the radio. The panic attack subsided as I nervously listened to the fast paced catchy song. Soon I was singing loud and bouncing around, the panic attack temporarily held at bay by a silly song that made me find humor or something like it in my terrifying situation. So here it is....

Here's another song that really helps me, not to mention it reminds me of my brother...I miss him a lot but I remember all the times we'd "dance" to this song when I'm home or blare it when I'm driving(more like jump up and down and act all crazy) Its "Alive" by P.O.D.

(((((Amy))))))Thanks for saving me some typing. "Never Again" was one I was going to share. It's one of my favorites.

Here's the other one I wanted to share w/ all of you. It's an untitled hidden track from the new 3 Doors Down CD, "Away From the Sun". If you're interested in listening, you may find it online titled as "This Time". Also, I'll freely send it to anyone who wishes to provide me with an email address. I simply love sharing this song with people! So here it is. (*(*(Lisa)*)*) Darling, this is for you.

Unsure of yourself,

You stand all righted and now,

We sure will lead you there

Last time you fell, and you hit hard

Your wounds have healed by now,

But you still see your scars, yeah

But it's not the way it used to be right now

You've come so far to just let this go, my friend

Don't go out the same way you did the last time

You'll break when you fall,

Don't make the same mistakes you did all over

You've got to believe in yourself this time.

Live on, live it up today

This life's your cup

So drink it up I say, yeah

Say it's mine so give it all up to me now

And walk that line

Don't let this go my friend.

Don't go out the same way you did the last time

You'll break when you fall

Don't make the same mistakes you did all over

You've got to believe in yourself, this time

This time

Life's your cup, life's your cup

Drink it up

Life's your cup, life's your cup

The same way you did the last time

You'll break when you fall

Don't make the same mistakes you did all over

You've got to believe in yourself, this time

The same way you did the last time

You'll break when you fall

Don't make the same mistakes you did all over

You've got to believe in yourself this time.

**Just a side note, guys, for those of you who may listen to this song. I'm not sure those lyrics in the first couple of lines are correct, but they're what I got off of a webiste I found, & they are close, at least. Feel free to update or correct them!
